Providing security awareness training, or any type of training for that matter, can be a challenge for organizations of any size. Preparing and delivering this training is often costly in terms of the time it takes to prepare and conduct as well as in the productivity that is lost while employees are funneled into classroom style sessions for hours at a time, only to walk away dazed and confused. Fortunately, online services like SecurityIQ AwareEd, from InfoSec Institute, are available to streamline the process.
Utilizing a service like AwareEd has traditionally only allowed a company to deliver the training made available by the online service provider itself. While being able to deliver comprehensive security training on a broad range of topics is extremely useful, every organization has its own sets of policies, procedures, and rules that also need to be shared with employees. This information generally needed to be shared with those individuals through alternative methods, but now, a new option exists which can change the way organizations deliver training of any kind to their employees.

The AwareEd custom module feature allows a user to upload and store any Adobe Captivate 9 or newer projects in one location and quickly create full online courses based on this content within minutes. If an organization already has training videos or Microsoft PowerPoint content developed, Adobe Captivate can be used to import this content and export a Captivate project which can then be uploaded to SecurityIQ.

Once the content has been uploaded, it is quickly reviewed by SecurityIQ, and once approved, it is immediately available as a module within AwareEd. At this point, it can be added to a course and assigned to an AwareEd campaign. Just as with all other AwareEd modules, learner progress and activity for the custom modules can be tracked and reported on.
